5/18/2023 0 Comments JACK KENNEDY by Chris MatthewsIn the Navy, I knew doing duty aboard the USS Intrepid how close we came to nuclear war and how Kennedy's handling gave us a reprieve from eternal death. Voting for JFK at 22 years of age and staying up all night waiting to hear and watch whether he beat Nixon. This was nearly 10 years after I saw JFK in New York City at the Commodore Hotel, at the Garment Workers rally, or the Auditorium off of Veterans' Memorial Hwy the Sunday before the election. Forty years ago I was involved in doing graduate research on JFK moving through the sources interviewing Dave Powers reading every single article and every single word Kennedy uttered. Maybe it is my empathy with Chris Matthews world. Chris Matthews captured in his book what has been missing in so many other books about Jack Kennedy - his soul. I just finished reading Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.
